Question

How does relief and elevation affect climate?​

Answer 1

When air rises it expands due to low air pressure which causes it to cool. Relief.

Step-by-step explanation:

The differences in the elevation inland. ... Once the air mass goes over the mountain the temperature and evaporation increases but condensation decreases, resulting in a halt in precipitation and rain shadows.

Answer 2

Explanation: As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands) and the temperature decreases. If the humidity is at 100 percent (because it's snowing), the temperature decreases more slowly with height. Relief has a great bearing on the climate of a place . The higher the place, the cooler it is and lower the place, the hotter it is because the temperature decreased at the rate of 1 degree celsius for every 165 meter. That is how relief play a major role in determining the climate of a place.
